He knelt on one knee and looked at her with deep eyes. At some point, there was a bunch of red roses emitting a faint fragrance in his hand.

"Qianlin, I'm sorry. This day may have come too late, or it may have come too abruptly. You are right. I may not be able to accept my unilateral liking, but I hope you can feel my sincerity."

"From the day I met you, my heart has been entangled. At the beginning, I always regarded you as her in my heart. In my heart, her figure was so deep and so deep. I always felt that you were her when I saw you for a long time. At that time, I told myself that this was wrong and unfair to you. I can't try to let you be her substitute just because you look exactly like her. So, I try to alienate you, open up the distance between you, and keep telling myself in my heart that you are not her!"

"But there are some things that cannot be suppressed. Just like your appearance, it made my originally dead lake of hearts appear again. I saw your tenderness, your strength, and felt your kindness to me. I found that in my heart, her shadow is still profound, but your figure is also deepening."

"I'm very reluctant to admit this because I always feel that this is a betrayal of her. This is an indecent love. So, I'm in pain and I can't accept my heart."

"When people live, they always have to look forward. This sentence sounds very simple, but it is very difficult, very difficult to do it. I often tell myself that Hera is irreplaceable, and I am afraid I will never fall in love with someone again in my life. But I find that this is also very difficult."

"I am not sure about when I fell in love with Zhou Qianlin and no longer regard her as Hera. But now I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that you are Zhou Qianlin. You are not Hera, and you are no longer in my heart."

"I gradually came out, Hera has gone, and my love for her will not decrease at all. But I believe that I will have more love. Give my lover. I know that I have hurt you many times, many times, so I don't ask you to accept me. I just hope that you can give me a chance. I also hope that I can tell you that from now on, you are Zhou Qianlin in my heart, the girl I like and love."

"My mouth is a little stupid. I don't know what to say now to impress you the most. But I can promise you that at least I will not hurt you again in the future. I will take good care of you."

"You asked me to be your bodyguard in the college. I was very reluctant at that time because I thought that would make me lose my freedom. But now, I feel that this is the opportunity you give me. It is also the opportunity given to me by God. If you want, I hope to extend our bodyguard's term for a lifetime. I am willing to be your bodyguard forever, protect you, care for you, and love you."

While speaking, he delivered the flowers in his hand to Zhou Qianlin and looked at her with sincere eyes.

Zhou Qianlin looked at him blankly. Tears could not help but slid down her cheeks and flowed. Her whole body was trembling gently.

Suddenly, she gently pushed away the flowers in front of her, shook her head vigorously, allowing tears to splash. "No, I can't accept it. At least not now."

Lan Jue was shocked. He never expected that Zhou Qianlin would not even give him a chance to pursue her. This was completely beyond her expectations.

"Don't cry, Qianlin, don't cry. It's okay, I can wait." Lan Jue took back the flowers, stood up, and hugged her in his arms.

Zhou Qianlin's delicate body trembled slightly, and she said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Ajue, I can't agree to you now. I can't tell you why now. When this game is over, when we return to Sky Mars, I'll show you something. If you are willing to accept me at that time, can we say these?"

After saying this, she broke free from Lan Jue's arms, stood up, and ran out quickly.

Holding the bouquet in his hand and standing there, Lan Jue suddenly felt a little lonely. He sat down again, first drank the gold drip from his cup, and then drank the rest of Zhou Qianlin's cup.

The taste was still sweet, but his heart suddenly felt bitter.

Gently put the flowers aside and re-stuck the cork of the gin bottle. At least he doesn't want to drink this bottle of wine anymore.

Outside the window, the lights and wine are full of prosperity in Luocheng. But at this moment, his heart is full of loneliness.

When Lan Jue returned to the room, the room was dim and Zhou Qianlin was lying on the bed, as if she was asleep.

Lan Jue did not disturb her, and lay down silently on the sofa. He suddenly realized that his heart was a little painful. This pain was not an old injury from the past, but a new injury. This feeling has not been through for a long time. But it was so clear.

They did not practice that night, and they were the only one who did not practice for the day after they came here.

In the early morning, when Lan Jue woke up from his sleep, he subconsciously looked at the window. Zhou Qianlin, who was only wearing a pajama, was standing there, looking out the window. And he had a quilt on his body.

Taking a deep breath, Lan Jue calmed down his mood and stood up wrapped in his pajamas.

Hearing the movement behind her, Zhou Qianlin turned around and seemed to have recovered. She smiled slightly at Lan Jue, "You wake up. I ordered breakfast and I will deliver it later."

"Yes." Lan Jue smiled and nodded, "Then I'll go wash up first."

"Yeah!" Zhou Qianlin agreed, with a moving smile on her pretty face.

Lan Jue walked quickly to the bathroom, and suddenly he found that he seemed to be trying to escape from her smile.

Looking at his back, an indescribable pain flashed in Zhou Qianlin's eyes. She bit her lower lip lightly and thought to herself: Do you know that the pain in my heart is much greater than that of you? But I can't tell you now, because telling you now will affect your mood and your game. After I go back, I will definitely tell you everything. I don't want the relationship between us to have a slight flaw. I don't want you to regret it in the future.

Everything seemed to have returned to normal. The two of them had breakfast happily and started practicing happily. They were still practicing in a fusion, but Zhou Qianlin could feel that Lan Jue's kiss became much more polite.

The semi-finals are about to begin, and the huge Luo City is now becoming a little crowded. Almost all TV stations in the human world are broadcasting various matters related to this competition.

Lan Jue didn't see the alchemist all day. When she saw Jun'er, she was with the gourmet. Obviously, because the alchemist didn't want to disturb his practice, she temporarily entrusted her daughter to the gourmet.

The next day, the semi-finals finally arrived.

In order to make the game fair, today's semi-finals still have to draw lots again to be the candidates in absolute terms.

When Lan Jue came to the waiting area, he obviously felt that it was deserted. Isn't it? There were only four people who could come here to the semi-finals.

The alchemist, Xuanyuan Die, and Jun Yongye have arrived before him.

Seeing him, the alchemist smiled slightly and nodded to him.

Jun Yongye and Xuanyuan Quejue also nodded to him.

After Lan Jue returned the gift, he sat down on the chair. For him, the ranking of the next game is no longer important. What is important is that he can find more things he wants in the game.

Such an opportunity can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After a day of adjustment, he has suppressed the unstable mood caused by the emotional problems between himself and Zhou Qianlin. After all, he is not the Lan Jue he used to be. His age and hardship have made him much more mature than before.

Love is an eternal topic. However, for anyone, love cannot be everything.

Lan Jue smiled at the alchemist beside him and said, "Sister, if I hit you today, don't show mercy. You must do your best to let me feel the strength of your sword fairy."

The alchemist smiled and said, "But I don't want to meet you."

Lan Jue smiled and said, "That depends on luck. It's best if we meet in the finals of the siblings, which will be perfect. I will admit defeat directly. Anyway, we can also compete when we go back."

The alchemist looked at him with deep eyes, but did not speak again.

On the rostrum, everything was as usual, and it looked no different. The Terminator was still sitting there with a calm face, like a mountain. However, there was one more person next to him today.

He has a veil on his face and a long white dress. Judging from his appearance and figure, he looks like he is in his thirties. However, in the Beimeng, there is undoubtedly only one person who can sit with the Terminator and have the same status. The master of time and space!

The Lord of Time and Space sat between the Terminator and the Foodie. She looked silent and just sat there quietly.

Mo Xiao is the other side of the terminator, and she is the one who is responsible for the semi-finals and final commentary.

"Hello everyone, I am Mo Xiao." Time is approaching, and Mo Xiao's voice also sounds.

"I believe everyone is looking forward to today's competition. After the previous competition, our final four were finally decided. Regardless of the results of the next competition, at least these four will win an S-level energy gem. The champion will also win a grand prize."

"The ones entering the semi-finals are the first group, the God King Zeus, the second group, the Sword Fairy Alchemist, the third group, the White-clothed Sword Sect Jun Yongye, and the fourth group, the Ten Thousand Swords Guiyi Xuanyuan Died."
